I heard the author of this manga is insane, he throws batshit things on known Generic tropes and makes them unique. So at what ep the show becomes insane ? Is this season just a build up, introducing characters and world?

Like for real insane like in the end of the Part 1 of the manga I could say, and that’s not being adapted for now

I think "insanity" doesn't apply fully to this show, it's far less psychotic than, for example Higurashi or Mirai Nikki. If you've seen Dorohedoro or Hellsing Ultimate - that's the kind of insanity you can experience in CSM.
So far, the anime adapts the manga very faithfully, thus I think we have to wait for the really meaty stuff until the secind season. Yet, towards the end of this one (maybe around 10ep), we should see some hints or elements foreshadowing the true dark nature of this world. Further explanation may lead us into spoilers rabbit hole

The insanity started right when Denji turned into a devil with a Chainsaw head and arms.
but the insanity starts with the Eternity Devil arc which is probably gunna start up in this week's episode.

The craziest thing in this season will be the last 5 episodes as they will adapt the
. It's going to be pretty normal before that. The actual crazy stuff however will be in season 2. The
arc which starts from chapter 53 was the one that actually started all the insanity and chaos this manga has to offer.

I mean, by the end of this season you’re gonna get a pretty good glimpse at how unpredictable Chainsaw Man can be. Then all bets are off and it goes super hard the rest of the way.

I read the whole manga and besides weird gory scenes. nothing really crazy happens to the story obviously some sad things happen. but nothing unpredictable. I would honestly skip the anime.

Mod Edit: Removed baiting.

if you’re expecting it in this 12 episode season, it’s not going to happen. there’s like 3 stretches of the manga i would consider insanity and they all happen later on and honestly only 2 of them are actually insane now that i think about it. probably next season you’ll see one depending on the episode count.

the manga adaption is not faithful as it didn't have powers feet in the anime, while the manga panel had powers feet.

Slow build up, some things are already starting to twist tropes but its not until reze is introduced that the series for me started to feel a bit more fresh

The story gets good during eternal devil arc. if you are looking for crazy I'd say Katana Devil or Reze arc

Because of the fact that Mappa are only doing 12 episodes I don’t think we’ll even get to the later insane stuff in the manga in this season

Season one is going to be dull and slow. There’s really nothing to look forward to.

Next season is when things start to go crazy. But trust me, you’ll get a taste of the insane pacing this season.

Second half is entirely insane. Even before that Bomb girl arc is dope too. But they'll probably end this season with Katana Man so you'll have to wait.

Then why is a lot of people rating this season 10/10? So far I would honestly say 8ish 8.5 even? With only 12 episodes, I can't see myself calling it a "Masterpeice or one of a kind" just yet, maybe in Season 2 as many have teased...

I agree. For me it is a solid 8.1 but only because of the animation. The story is ordinary and basic, and the characters are not at all complex or memorable. The reason this anime had a high rating is just because of the large influx of fans tha blindly rate the anime highly with only having a single episode out. Now that it has been out for a while, the score has dropped significantly due to the greater anime community judging it for the quality it actually is.

Nothing this season as others said, but at the same time the arc thats gonna be the big showpiece of the season is still pretty damn wild even if its not too out of the ordinary content wise, just an all around solid shounen arc. Shit starts getting more experimental around the arc leading into the midwaypoint of the series overall and the last 30 chapters are when it kicks into overdrive.

Its obviously just carrying the hype of the manga over more so than the series itself being incredible, thats true for almost all adaptions of major established series. High scores should be seen less as a surefire this is a masterpiece, and more as a general rule they are accessible shows to wide audiences, or in mal's very specific case the ones that are long or have lots of sequels will have way higher scores than the quality generally is at cause only the hardcore fans would watch far along for the score to count or even watch the sequels like your gintama's and bleachs

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

If you’re looking for pure insanity this season you’re going to be disappointed. Most of what chainsaw man is well loved for is going to appear next season.

That being said it does escalate once Beam and katana man arrives on the scene.
